N.J. school board president arrested on child porn charges

TRENTON — The president of the Dunellen Board of Education in Middlesex County was arrested Tuesday on charges that he distributed child pornography online, state authorities said.

Phillip C. Heiney, 67, stands accused of possessing disturbing videos of prepubescent girls being sexual abused by adult males, according to the state Division of Criminal Justice.

He is also accused of making the videos available to others on peer-to-peer file sharing networks, authorities said.

"It's appalling that a man who leads his local school board and holds himself out as being concerned about young students would allegedly participate in the depraved sexual exploitation of innocent children by viewing and distributing child pornography online," state Attorney General Christopher Porrino said in a statement. "Anyone who would commit such crimes belongs in prison, not in our schools."..
